It[1] says: "Since str.format() is quite new, a lot of Python code still uses the % operator. However, because this old style of formatting will eventually be removed from the language, str.format() should generally be used."

Can you please provide some context for this report? On the abstract, I agree that there is an error in the tutorial: it is not decided whether the % formatting will be eventually removed, and I would also personally disagree with the recommendation to prefer .format. |

According to what I have been told at python-list@python.org str.__mod__() is not going to be deprecated and that seems to be a myth created by Python's own documentation. I do remember to have read previously in another page that it would be deprecated but that seems to be already corrected. Today I just found it in the tutorial. |

I agree that we should not say that %-formatting will be removed from the language. Not until Python 5000, anyway. |
